The Red Badge of Courage (1951)
Country: US
Technical: bw 69m
Director: John Huston
Cast: Audie Murphy, Bill Mauldin, Douglas Dick
Synopsis:
The baptism of fire of a callow Union recruit in the Civil War, centring on his inner conflict over his fear prior to the battle.
Review:
A notoriously conflicted production (read Lillian Ross's book on the subject, Picture), the result being a truncated running time and sententious commentary. The general visual treatment cannot be undone, and the music is fine, but, as Huston said, the word is almost as important as the image, and the word here is not good.
